Barcelona sniffing around Man United fan favourite

Now it's just going too far.

Come and have a look if you like, sample some of the products even, but just don't take Mata away. Whilst Thursday's rumour mill brought good news for the Old Trafford faithful with the talk that they were beating Spurs to one of Holland's most promising attackers, there's inevitably a sense of dread when one of La Liga's big guns come strolling by your shop window with nowhere to be and plenty of money to spend. Barcelona are looking at the prospect of taking Juan Mata to the Camp Nou. (Goal) The popular Manchester United playmaker is out of contract in the summer and his career could yet have one last beautiful twist, as if he was dropping the shoulder and going in another direction himself. Mata has been a fan favourite at Old Trafford ever since he arrived by helicopter in January 2014 in a fruitless mission to help David Moyes and, since, he has been nothing but a model professional, a dangerous weapon, an honest and likeable speaker - and blogger - and a role model with the touch of an angel. https://twitter.com/FlFAWC2018/status/1087868638529499136 Mata has started three times for Solskjaer so far and was brought on against Brighton in their last game but, as his contract runs down, Goal are reporting that he could have the pick of Barca, Juve and PSG. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku's brother Jordan Lukaku is set for a loan move from Lazio to Newcastle United before the transfer window shuts. The 24-year-old wing back isn't a regular starter for the Serie A club and Rafa Benitez could do with bolstering the Magpies' left side. (Chronicle) And the biggest news of them all is that the Star are reporting that West Brom want to bring in Jacob Murphy on load from Newcastle. Christ, bad day for the window.
